I love this Top Chef, but I'm a little bummed out that it's supersized.
Oh, I'm gonna go to the special hell.

Because books.
I only realized it was supersized when I looked at the clock and they hadn't even gone to judges' table yet.
I'm actually glad they skipped Restaurant War this season. It always comes off so badly, imo. What would be cool would be a show based on that concept, teams given a certain number of weeks to create a restaurant.
Big kudos to the couple who agreed to let the cast cater the wedding. Based on past seasons, that was risky.

I missed the losing team facing the judges. What happened?

There is a show sort of like that on BBCA right now called Last Restaurant Standing. Couples start restaurants and each week are told how they can improve and every other week one is closed until one couple is left with a real restaurant. I'm wondering how long it will take for it to be brought over to the US.

What happened?
The boys went apeshit for a minute, they said Lisa's cake tasted better, and Nikki was all, "I was in no way responsible for any of this."

Lisa's cake tasted better than Stephanie's?

That's what the judges said.
I think they sent the right person home, since she was ridiculous in her avoidance of responsibility, but I was seriously hating everyone on that team tonight.
OTOH, I loved that Richard gave his win to Stephanie (and that she said they'd split the prize).

Oh, and how about the absurd (ricockulous?) hoyay between Andrew and Spike that opened the show over Mark being sent home?
ETA, not to be confused with any OTHER Andrew and Spike who might have been discussed on this board at some point.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

Word. Saying "I'm not in charge" may well be the surest ticket to getting kicked off the show.
That team was trouble to begin with -- all the "Does Not Play Well With Others" was in one place. But Nikki started off well, and everybody seemed happy to follow her lead. Then, when she threw that aside, no one stepped into the vacuum, causing trouble to spiral, and that space got filled with personality disorders on parade.

If Spike makes a blooming onion next challenge, I'll quit from self-defense.
